Fly from Lusaka airport with Proflight to Mfuwe airport. Met on arrival and transferred to Tafika Camp to stay for 3 nights on a full board basis. Sat in the heart of the game of the Nsefu region in the South Luangwa National Park is Remote Africa’s Tafika Camp. This intimate camp, which can accommodate up to 14 guests, offers authentic accommodation in the heart of the bush, with a delicate balance of comfort and luxury. Combining with Remote Africa’s bush camps (Chikoko trails), starting or ending your itinerary here works really well.
